It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Lillian Gaudet, lovingly known as Mémère, on
October 8, 2024 at the age of 81 years old. Born in Moncton, she was
the daughter of the late Alexandre and Edna (Léger)
Gagnon.
Lillian was a vibrant matriarch whose passion for life
inspired everyone around her. A proud and active woman, she enjoyed
ballroom dancing, darts, rollerblading, and ice skating. Her
dedication to fitness was evident in her commitment to push-ups,
planks, and weight training, reflecting her belief in staying strong
and healthy. Lillian was also a meticulous “clean freak”,
always ensuring her surroundings were immaculate. As a member of the
Club d’Âge d’Or and Dames Chevalières, she
cherished her involvement in community activities. Her spirited
personality and infectious laughter made her a beloved presence among
family and friends. Always one to be “done up”, she took
great pride in her appearance, a testament to her self-respect and
dignity. In her final days, Lillian requested that her family ensure
she looked her best, a final reflection of her enduring pride and care
for her appearance.
She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Donald; one
daughter, Josette Collette (Guy) of Grand Falls; one son, Benoit of
Québec, QC; three grandchildren: Danika, Isabelle, and
Erik; eight great-grandchildren: Olivier,
Frédéric, Annabelle, Cora, Lily, Evee,
Théodore, and Evan; five sisters: Jeannita Bouchard
(André) of Gatineau, QC, Lorraine LeBouthillier (late
Ovila) of Dieppe, Sylvia Lanteigne (late Roger LeBlanc) of Notre-Dame,
Muriel Breau and Georgette Lirette (Charles), both of Saint-Philippe;
two brothers: Normand Gagnon (Germaine) of Leominster, MA, and
Jean-Paul Gagnon (Lucille) of Saint-Antoine; as well as several
sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews, who will carry
her legacy of love and strength forward.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by one sister,
Léona Paquet, and two brothers: René Gagnon and
Gérard “Gerry” Gagnon.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and
Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Monday
